Human Poisoning from Native and Cultivated Plants.

Abstract

This new edition has been greatly improved by added illustrations, particularly those in color, of leaves, seeds, flowers, berries, and other identifying features of potentially poisonous plants. The chief shortcoming of this otherwise valuable guide and reference is the lack of identifying, separate keys for leaves, flowers, nuts, berries, and seeds that might facilitate identification of specimens presented by the patient or other informants. Highly recommended for all clinical libraries, especially those of physicians who see children, "living-off-the-land" fanatics, and others especially at risk for poisoning from parts of plants.
